Here you are; https://www.thoughtco.com/types-of-c...he-sky-4025569 Following the shift in topic (hey, it's Usenet!): Way back when I was in college and had no money, I found a beautiful little book in the library: _Instant Weather Forecasting_ by Alan Watts. Along with some excellent fundamentals on weather, its main feature was pages of photos of various cloud types, with explanations of what phenomena generated the clouds and what sort of weather might be expected. I couldn't afford to buy it, but I borrowed it from the library over and over. I hoped to learn its principles and use them on long tours. I envisioned riding across America and being expert with my choices of route and shelter. Well, I never became really expert, although I tried. And by the time I actually did ride across America, it made a lot more sense to just look at the weather channel whenever I got the chance. These days, I can just call up a weather map on my phone (as I did today) and see "Holy cow, we'd better head for home right now!" The young whippersnappers have it so easy! -- - Frank Krygowski |

I am never surprised by your statements. Most people who know even a lttle bit about "cloud seeding" will know that claiming it affected the weather was at best a dubious long shot. Somewhere around there is a apaper showeing that "rain dances" have a greater correlation to the claim of "afffecting the weather". It is not in the least "dubious" and was actually used by the CIA in the Vietnam war to mire the North Vietnamese and Cambodians down in mud and mire. There's no questioned that it worked. There is also no question that NASA has used cloud seeding to eliminate clouds in order to have clear weather for space launches. Yawn, if you cloud seed in an area and time when it s going to rain naturally, then you can hardly "cloud seeding worked". Contrails have been blamed for large scale cooling along flight paths which are growing more and more numerous. These contrails are nothing more than cumulous clouds. At any moment in the USA there are 3,000 aircraft in the air. And they use the dirtiest of fuel. And dirty fuel emits particles that water vapour coalesces about. So your point is? Of course you can't make blue sky rain. But they could make it rain in places where they wanted the rain to fall when it would normally be falling in Thailand. Laos and Cambodia would receive the rain so that the north Vietnamese couldn't travel down the Ho Chi Minh Trail. This prevented attacks from the back side of the dividing line. This ALL worked. In fact North Vietnam admitted that they were beaten. But after Lyndon Johnson pulled American Troops out of South Vietnam he cut all military aid to the South and that gave the North the advantage again. Quite simply, you don't know what you are talking about. Firstly, the so called "Ho Chi Minh Trail" wasn't a "trail" it was a series of paths, roads and byways, some with considerable improvement including camp facilities that allowed the Northerners to transport supplies to their troops in the south using trucks, bicycles, water buffalos, and human porters. The idea that "if it rains that won't be able to use the trail" is one of the more stupid ideas that the U.S. had during the war. The idea that all movement stops during the monsoon is ludicrous. It would mean that nothing moved in most of South East Asia for nearly half of each year. And proof? Well, I guess that the fact that the North did supply their people in the South all year round is proof, isn't it? And, even General Westmoreland stated that he thought there was "no appreciable increase" in rain from the project. As for N. Vietnam admitting that they were beaten? I guess you'll have to prove that as it appears to be just another one of your pipe dreams. I might add that Thailand has since about 1969 has had an official "cloud seeding" project. The results vary from year to year but overall the project has not been a resounding success, other than as a political act to demonstrate the "government's concern" for the farmers. Firstly there were no "road improvements" that anyone in the US would call an improvement - muddy car tracks over a dozen miles are what they were. Secondly you can't "increase" the amounts of rain by seeding but only have it occur in other areas than it would have fallen. Thirdly the North Vietnamese surrendered at the Paris Peace Treaty and then because the Democrats wouldn't continue to support the South Vietnamese military and continue air support the North Vietnamese simply ignored the Treaty and the Democrats used that as an election point. Wow! North Viet Nam surrendered? Who knew? BTW, to whom did they surrender? -- Jay Beattie. |
